p51mstg Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Anybody know the sales for Lynx for last season? Did they make a profit with NA sales? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamgreen02 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 See lots of them on the trails around here now. It's the best motor, best shock package, and best rear suspension in the biz. I wouldn't say it rails the corners on smooth trails like my 129 Procross but it doesn't steer like a freight train either. I'd like to ride it back to back with a Renegade XRS some time. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place I’ve seen any Lynx sleds in the wild is at events where the dealer puts one on display. I don’t know anyone who actually bought one.

p51mstg Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 The reason I said rhetorically if anyone had seen the actual numbers is because seeing one or knowing someone that bought one would be highly subjective and would not indicate whether or not Lynx was a "success" in North America. I suspect they sold quite a few more units than anyone realizes. Just like, when you buy a vehicle brand and model that you've never owned before, you suddenly begin to see them everywhere - when, prior to ownership, you hadn't seen any. They were there all along (unless we really are living in a simulation). Without knowing how many units, whether Lynx was profitable, and if they made their sales goals, we have no idea whether their venture was successful. Add to that how subjective our observations would be, we're not only guessing but almost certainly guaranteed to guess wrong. As for the comparison of auto brands, I would propose that Cat is more like Chrysler rather than an exotic. Chrysler isn't even Chrysler any more, now that they're owned by Fiat, and their sales numbers aren't even in the same league as Ford and GM. Lynx would be more like Volvo, I would think.

I've got a Ram in the garage. I use it when I need a truck. Oh.... you're one of those assholes that think what you drive defines you, a status symbol? I don't give 2 craps about that stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
